Nowadays many people ask this question, both people who live in this country or people from the outside, as the situation that venezuela is going through has attracted the attention of many eyes of the world and of course, one of those aspects is the community of players or "gamers" and in fact the answer to the happy question, "What So difficult is buying games in Venezuela?

But now the question is, what makes the purchase of video games so difficult, since one of the main problems is the value of the local currency of Venezuela Bs (Bolívar Fuerte) Since this is very devalued and its value in the market global and local is lousy costing much less below the dollar or some other currency, and this is the dilemma, online platforms sell their games in the default currency that would be the dollar, and although platforms like steam enabled the purchase of their games with the local currencies of some countries this was not valid for Venezuela because obviously it would not be profitable for the company and not only this, it would be extremely expensive a game these days, and eye there are pages that do have the purchase of digital video games through the strong bolivar, but these prices exceed the millions and millions of bolivars and obviously this would be a pretty remarkable blow to our pocket, even though constantly in venezuela If there are wage increases at a general level, this does not end up filling the void that high inflation has unleashed in the country, all due to a bad management of income and powers within the same government directive, which causes it to affect all the sectors or commercial aspects of the country being the gamer or gaming sector one of the many affected.

To give you a little idea of what I am talking about, I will leave you with the price of the "Need For Speed Payback" game, a relatively recent game ...

If you read well reader, and no, it is not a consequence of myopia this time the price you just saw is 25 million Bolivars, a price established as impossible to acquire considering the minimum salary of Venezuela at this time, and if to acquire the game in physical form the price would be a little higher, and what consequences has brought this problem of currencies and acquisition of games, as many may assume this has brought a great wave of piracy in droves both online and copies of physical games, and this not only in games but also in the piracy of consoles, and the purchase of this type of copies because it is relatively much cheaper or accessible to the general public and in case of online piracy, this type of piracy is globally honestly speaking but in venezuela it is more than a habit to visit this type of pages to acquire pirate games, free of charge.

How could this big problem that has arisen in Venezuela be solved as a result of the monetary situation of the country?, Because reconstruct the currency to recover its value, and beyond that be in charge of giving sufficient support to each platform so that users Unfortunately, this is the current situation and I hope with all my heart that this aspect will improve soon, if not all the general situation that venezuela is suffering, what do you think about this topic? ?, What is your opinion you can leave it in the comments if you like, without more than saying thank you for your time and for going through my post, greetings.
